MR.. IVES HAS 4 WORD TO SAT- ABOUT MR. WAITE.
Henry s. Ives was asked yesterday what he had to
saw with regard to the testimony OF former Vice
President Waite, OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
DAYTON Railroad, In the suit Tor q receivership,
respecting alleged tampering with the annual report
of the company to its stockholders. Mr.. Ives said
that Mr. Waite. as reported, did not give accurate
statement He (Mr. lvesl aud Mr.. Stavner were IN
Cincinnati at the time the rel ort was prepared, and
they found that 1t did not contain any record OF the
issue of preferred stock, 50 they had the amount
SO, 75O 0OO-euterei among the liabilities. At q
subsequent meeting OF the directors some exception
was taken to the equipment account. The objection
Mr. Ives said, was that some equipment had neen
ordered and only that part paid for had been de-
lyered but the money tor the )alance had been put
IN the equipment is customary. under the
list of assets IL vas claimed that this money should
show in the cash account and not IN the equipment
Mr. Waite offered a resolution tor the suppression OF
the report in order to make the correction and Mr.
Ives secon ted IL. As regards the raising OF Mr..
ses salary Mr.. 1ves said that It was done because
Waite represented last fall that lie had received an
offer from the Bee Line" az vice-presIdent and
general manager at salary OF $4,000 year. and
also an offer OF the presidency OF the Ohio ana hisss-
sippi at any price be would name. The Cincinnati
II iinlton and Dayton road could not AFFORD TO lose
his at that uncture and so Mr. Waites salary
was made $25 600.

MIR. HEWITT WOULD GROUP THE REGIMENIS.
The Armory Commission received no bids yesterday
for the iron work OF the 9Th Regiment Armory, and
the clerk was directed to advertise again. The srchl
tect that the iron would not bid because OF
the conditions imposed, OF winch that the city
could suspend the work ut any time and tor as long
period as might be deemed advisable without the
contractor receiving any damages.
Then I'm afraid II have to bid tor that work my
selt," said Mayor Hewitt, although don't want to-
must not stop because the iron refuse TO bid."
President Coleman. OF the Tax Department, said
that he thought that the appropriation might be in
creased. He doubted whether the arInory could be
built on the plans proposed tor 100000.
"There seems to be a disposition somewhere to
threaten this board If it refuses to do all tor the
National Guard that it Is asked to do" replied the
Mayor. @Nuw, don't tor any threats, and l
want to find out ii cannot get an armory tor the
money have before vote tor any increase OF the
appropriation think $500, 900 ought to be enough
and don't believe the people would be willing to
have this amount increased. cannot see Why every
regiment should have armory. or why two or even
more regiments could not occupy one armory. We
have got beyond depth, and therefore move that
the Co. poraton Counsel be requested to niorm this
board II there Is any lawful impeachment why two or
regiments ay not be assigned to one armory."
The board agreed TO this proposition.

monkish garments are drawn down
over their faces, leaving only two little
holes for the eyes. On the conclusion

they might be supposed to crave in

the Ottomacs eat Is a soft unctuous
